Boy Toy

and scout leaders, over 70,000 website members - all will be questioned.

You should be glad they're shut down, but you're hung up on a quote about a man turned on by boys wearing diapers.

The next day, at the local burger joint, you see a man eating ice cream. He pulls his spoon out of his mouth. Curls his head to his shoulders. The smooth, green mound of mint oreo glistens as he waves to your three year old son, seated on your lap.

I agree with you Bill, we need to be vigilant and cautionary. And yes, this piece teeters with paranoia - of course there are many wonderful people in the world too. Thanks for reading and sharing your comments.

I remember this piece from the RT...the weight, and the leap from the news article which is disturbing enough, to the local burger joint...that moment of "intimacy" with a stranger that can happen by just shared looks...and the wonder, the can't help it (parent or not) of the what ifs. You have captured this so eloquently in such a microscopic manner.
Fave.

I couldn't sleep so I got up and started reading. You captured my attention and held it with your story. *

"Is he one of them?"

People give me that look a lot, especially parents with children. I usually ignore them, especially the children. Which is kinda sad; but I don't blame them. They should be cautious. The world is strange, stranger than fiction.
